Honeycomb Toffee!

Buzz! Buzz! It’s honeycomb time! This candy is a delicious honey flavoured, honeycomb looking treat! Some people call is “sponge toffee” or “sea foam” because it’s light and airy! This treat is perfect for eating on it’s own, but it’s also great covered in chocolate, crushed up on ice cream, put into cake layers, in my world it’s the perfect accent to any dessert!

It’s the bee’s knees!

Honeycomb Toffee

Yield: about a 12”x10” rectangle

• 1 1/4 cup Sugar

• 1/4 cup Corn Syrup

• 1/4 cup Honey

• 1/4 cup Water

• 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda

1. In a 2-3 qt. pot place your sugar, corn syrup, honey and water. Stir to combine and make sure all your sugar gets wet, then scrape down the sides so there aren’t any clumps of sugar sticking to them.

2. Line a baking tray with a silicon pad or a piece of parchment and grease with baking spray or oil/butter. Place next to your stove.

3. On a high heat, cook your sugar mixture until it reaches 300*F with a thermometer, this is called the “hard crack” stage, remove from the heat.

4. Quickly whisk in your baking soda and it is going to start GROWING! Be careful this is still SUPER HOT! Quickly pour your honeycomb onto the greased and lined baking tray. Don’t smooth out, just let it go where it may, the more your smooth, the less bubbles you will have.

5. Let cool for about 2 hours, then crack into pieces and store in a sealed container.

Some call it sponge toffee, some call it sea foam, but no matter what you call it, this light and airy candy is fun to make AND fun to eat!
